I'm going to add these improvements, but just noticed another thing,
the new version doesn't handle:
$ darcs add a/file a/
The following directory is already in the repository;
note that to ensure portability we don't allow
files that differ only in case:
a

the old version failed with another message:
$ darcs add a/file a/
Skipping 'a/file' ... parent directory 'a/' isn't in the repo.

Do you think the filelist should be sorted before being passed
to addp.
